Colorado Island
Coronado Island in San Diego is no less impressive than any popular vacation island. People often take for granted the things around them, so over time they may overlook the beauty around them. But as a local in San Diego, even if you have seen the scenery of Coronado Island countless times, you will still be amazed and addicted to it.
In Spanish, Coronado means "crowned one", so the island is also known as "The Crown City". Its fame comes from the Hotel del Coronado, which opened in 1888. The entire Coronado Beach is a perfect place to spend time, and it was rated as the most beautiful beach in the United States by Mr. Beach. Cycling, watching the sunset, playing in the water, sailing, and beach volleyball are all good choices here. The Coronado Bridge tightly connects San Diego and Coronado Island. The bridge is arched, and there is a 80-degree turn as the bridge rises, allowing you to enjoy the view of the bay area as if you were hovering over the sea, adjacent to the blue sky and sea.
The biggest treasure on the island is the historic Hotel del Coronado, the first five-star hotel in the United States and the largest all-wooden hotel in the world. Since its opening in 1887, it has attracted countless wealthy and famous people. The hotel has also been used as a backdrop for many famous movies. The Hotel del Coronado was built in 1888 and still retains its 19th-century style interior decoration. It has always been a popular destination for dignitaries, celebrities, and couples. As of 2012, 16 presidents, including Obama, have visited here, and Nixon and Reagan held state banquets and summit meetings here to receive the Mexican president.
